HEAVY CUT OF MUMS 



There are few sources of supply that are as well provided with the selection of stock in the 

 way of Mums as our firm. The crops are on in full force and our supply includes the highest 

 grades. We can furnish any grade desired in white, pink and yellow. 



POMPONS IN ALL COLORS 



BEAUTIES — CARNATIONS — ROSES 



Never overlook the fact that we always have Roses and Carnations. Our Beauties are those 

 fine, large headed ones that really bring patrons back for more. The long stems are being cut in 

 big numbers just now. In other roses we are strong on Killarneys, White Killarneys, Richmonds, 

 Wards, Sunburst, Shawyer, etc. Everything in Roses. Carnations are not in oversupply, but we 

 can handle your order.

M^-ntlon The Review when yoii write. 



Beauties are all that could be desired 

 for quality. There are enough of the 

 grades above 3(5 inch, but not enough 

 to take rare of all the buyers who 

 would prefer something shorter. Kil- 

 larneys are in good supply, both the 

 pink and white, and yet there is a de- 

 mand large enough to move them with- 

 out giving the wholesalers any concern. 

 The longer lengths are in greater sup- 

 ply than the shorter ones and conse- 

 quently the latter clean up rather 

 quickly. Richmond, Maryland, Shaw- 

 yer. Hillingdon and Rhea Reid are like- 

 wise being cut in fair quantity and 

 move along nicely-. The yellows never 

 fail to sell and they bring a good price, 

 except that long Wards do not realize 

 what they should. This rose is used 

 largely for corsage work and the buy- 

 ers will pay more for short Wards than 

 they will for the same lengths of any 

 other rose. 



Violets have not made any great 

 flurry as yet, but they have done bet- 

 ter in the last week than at any pre- 

 vious time this season. Valley contin- 

 ues to enjoy a good sale. Cattleyas are 

 not in largo supply. Considerable 

 stock is being shipped in from the 

 east, where crops appear to be much 

 better than they are locally. There are 

 enough Easter lilies to go around. 



The green goods situation is quiet. 



Asparagus strings and smilax still are 

 scarce. 



The Chicago Show. 



Interest in the flower show to be 

 held next week is not what it should be. 

 Doubtless the small size of the shows 

 recently held in the Art Institute is re- 

 sponsible for the condition, but the au- 

 tumn show is quite a different proposi- 

 tion and should bring out a fine showing 

 of stock and a large attendance by the 

 public. The show is of national im- 

 portance, for it is the annual exhibition 

 of the Chrysanthemum Society of 

 America combined with the autumn ex- 

 hibition of the Horticultural Society of 

 Chicago, the Chicago Florists' Club co- 

 operating. There are excellent premi- 

 ums for chrysanthemums, roses, carna- 

 tions and many other flowers. There 

 is every inducement for a large display 

 of fine stock. 



The annual business meeting of the 

 Chrysanthemum Society of America 

 will be held at the Art Institute at 

 7:30 p. m. November 5. The following 

 evening the Chicago Florists' Club will 

 entertain the visitors at a ladies' 

 night. 



Various Notes. 



M. Tredup has built a new store ad- 

 joining his greenhouses at 2611 East 

 Seventy-fifth street, to take care of 



his Windsor Park trade. The South 

 Chicago store, at 3013 East Ninety- 

 second street, is continued to handle 

 the business of that vicinity, 



Frank F. Storck, the druggist, who 

 is opening a flower store at 2901 Cot- 

 tage Grove avenue, to take care of the 

 trade going to the Michael Reese hos- 

 pital, has given an order to Buchbinder 

 Bros, for a display refrigerator and 

 expects to have his shop in shape 

 within a short time. 



E. E. Pieser agrees with the general 

 view that Chysolora is a fine mum, but 

 points out one fault that has not before 

 been commented on. He says it is in- 

 clined to break off at the neck, thirty 

 flowers having been found broken in 

 unpacking seven boxes October 20. 



The A. L. Randall Co. reports having 

 already booked orders for over 2,000 

 kumquat plants for delivery between 

 November 15 and Christmas. 



Frank Schramm, of Arlington 

 Heights, has dropped carnations and 

 planted roses. He has changed his 

 heating system from hot water to 

 steam. 



George Baer, of Toledo, has begun 

 his annual shipments of chrysanthe- 

 mums to Kennicott Bros. Co. 



George V. Wienhoeber, manager of 

 the Fleischman Floral Co., went to St. 

 Louis, October 24, with flowers for the
